i have been slacking lately with my blogging. my mom was here for the weekend so i was distracted. it was so fun to have her here. she TOTALLY spoiled us. (thanks mom.)
we did lots of shopping and eating out. nothing super classy, since we live in a po-dunk town. infact, we went to 2 buffets. so that just goes to show you how unclassy it really was! but it was so fun. we had lots of laughs. i think were all over tired (matt and i because of chet and my mom from traveling) so that made everything that much funnier. we went to a pizza buffet called craigos. it's been a hotspot of rexburg for years now. and we also ate at chuck-a-rama. we had to go because my mom (and dad) have a crush on chuck-a-rama for some odd reason! we were trying to figure out where it got its name. it has a chuckwagon on its sign, so we figured that is where the chuck is from. and then matt said that they added the end part because everything sounds better with a-rama at the end. i don't know if that's true, but my name sure sounds rad with it.
i was sad to see my mom go. not only did we enjoy all the nice things she treated us to, but she was a huge help. it was so nice to have an extra pair of hands to help out. and someone who was excited to change chets bum and walk the dog. i was a little sad this morning when i realized my mom was gone and matt was back to school. but it's nice to have chet all to myself too!

yesterday we had a few of our friends over for sunday dinner. dave & ashley and branden & mikaela joined us for an evening of crepes and balderdash. and, of course, lots of visiting. it was very fun. and matt makes the most delicious crepes. mmm.
dave & ash have the sweetest little girl, summer. she is at a fun age - 11 months. i am excited for chet to do all the fun things that she can. chet is 2 months today.
